🦎 Fun Fact Friday! 🦎
Did you know that geckos can climb smooth surfaces thanks to tiny hair-like structures on their feet called setae?
These setae create an adhesive force that allows them to stick to almost anything—even glass! This incredible adaptation makes geckos some of the most agile climbers in the animal kingdom.

🌟 True or False? 🌟
Statement: Snakes are slimy. 🐍
Answer: False! Snakes are actually dry and smooth. Their scales, made of keratin—the same material as our hair and nails—give them a sleek appearance without any slime. Handle a snake, and you might be surprised by how different they feel from what you expected!

With great size, comes great power. As you can see here, with Litchi attacking his banana offerings.
Armadillo lizards are fascinating creatures are mostly found in the Western Districts of Southern Africa. Here are some fun facts about these unique reptiles:
1. Armadillo lizards get their name from their ability to roll into a ball like an armadillo when they feel threatened. This behaviour helps to protect them from predators.
2. They have a hard, bony shell on their back that is covered in spiny scales, which makes them look like miniature dinosaurs.
3. Armadillo lizards feed mainly on insects and other small invertebrates. They may also occasionally eat plant matter.
4. These lizards are relatively small, growing to only about 7.5 - 16.5 centimetres in length. They have short legs and a long tail, which helps them to move quickly through the sand.
5. Armadillo lizards are not commonly kept as pets, but they are sometimes bred in captivity. They require a warm, dry environment and a diet that is similar to what they would eat in the wild.

Tune in tomorrow night to watch Akio, the rock monitor, and myself in Love Goes Wild!!
Akio was a natrual for the cameras 😂 and she enjoyed many snacks during the filming, probably why she behaved so well 😅

They will eat a large variety of succulents and grasses!
This little dude is tired of eating salads ☘️🌿
It seems he's got a taste for fingers now!!!
WARNING: in this video, Akio is fed a frozen thawed rat. This forms part of their natural diet.
Feel free to share with friends who would find this interesting 😁!!
